Shows you're giving up on

I might give up on Caprica. Since the finale, I've not looked forward to it returning, and don't really care when it returns. I might still watch it to complete the season, but it is not interesting.

I gave up on a lot last season - FlashForward, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, Stargate Universe (watched the first 5 episodes and hated every SINGLE character on the show - god, they were awful!), Brothers & Sisters (which I was really watching on DVD, so the previous season is to blame), and NCIS:LA.

I only halfway watched Caprica - the only character I really like is Adama's dad. But I might keep trying to watch that since I love the BSG universe so much and WANT to like that show perhaps more than I want to like any show on TV.

Gave up on Heroes during S2, so didn't waste 3 years of my life on that travesty, thank goodness. And I have only seen snippets of V - none of which made me really eager to watch more of it.

So the only shows I have left now that LOST is over and Cold Case is canceled are Castle, and NCIS. Two shows. Wow. I also watch Dexter, but watch it on DVD a season behind...and it takes me all of a week to watch each season. Whoopee!

Because of the lack of stuff worth watching, I am thinking about giving NCIS: LA another try. I at least like two of those characters (Chris O'Donnell's character and LL Cool J's character) so even though I don't think I will ever like it as much as I like NCIS, it is certainly better than alot of the other crap currently on.

I am also going to try out True Blood on DVD. And for lack of anything better to do, I am also thinking about watching Law & Order: SVU again - at least part of the time. I was long ago bored with the L&O format..but I really like watching Olivia and Elliott as characters. And Munch too, if he is still on there. Is he still on there?

I'll keep watching my summer shows and funky season shows - Burn Notice, Eureka, and In Plain Sight. But the fall season is looking pretty grim for me - two shows I genuinely like (Castle, NCIS), one that I am forcing myself to watch because I love the universe, if not the characters (Caprica) and two I previously gave up on but am going to try again for lack of anything better to do (NCIS: LA, L&O: SVU). How sad is that?

Smallville is the only show I watch with any sort of regularity, the other shows I watch from time to time. I do watch the Daily show every single day, I don't think I will ever give it up
and Smallville is almost over, so I just can't. If they were contracted for like 5 more seasons I would definately let it
go.

It takes a lot for me to give up on a series. There are a few that managed it though.

Heroes
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (almost certainly this year after I see the season premiere)
Lie to Me
Royal Pains
Treme

That's all I can think of that's recent off the top of my head.

^while I'm gonna buy the complete series on BR when it comes out! To the poster who denounced Lost

I didn't denounce Lost, I enjoyed it a lot until the final season. And its not even that I hated the final season, I was just extremely disappointed in it.

To me the final season made the whole show irrelevant. So knowing this, why would I ever want to revisit it? I'm just talking about me, I'm pretty sure others can get plenty out of re-watching Lost. Have at it, I'm pretty sure that it will be worth it.

Mad Men, if it doesn't get pretty interesting pretty fast this year.

I haven't given it a shot since it strikes me as yet another pretentious artsy show heavy on over-the-top character angst that easily impresses supposed tv critics who then go on and on and on about it. I had enough of that with nBSG, Caprica and The Sopranos.

It's artsy enough, and I guess it deserves the acclaim. But a show can be artst and not bore you silly.
